  • @Sunny: A hearty congratulations on picking up the 250R. Although, it is a surprising choice, but a good choice nonetheless. I am sure the "new" paint-scheme would be a terrific treat to the eye!

      The irony is, there was no choice!

      Thanks everyone!
      @midnight: thanks, as far as the custome paint job is concerned, I am hoping it will come out fantastic!

          And also checked the fuel consumption of the motorcycle,26 km/l@60km/h(just a week old with 340 kms).Also time period from booking to delivery is 3 weeks and not months.(Ignore info,if discussed earlier)
          After seeing CBRs and R15s crash on the track I am very keen to get frame sliders. Would appreciate if you give details like price where u got the sliders from.

          It was just because of Sliders that a bright Orange 600 RR had just a few scratches (unnoticeable) after a Lowside.

The next step would be to figure out how to get more low end torque out the thing, it is hard to squeeze out all that power from the 250cc mill at higher gears and low revs in the hills.

Installing frame involves removing engine mounting bolt and other adujstments to the frame before fitting slidders. So if you are well worse with your home work then go for it....

                    Happy riding..
                    Advice taken,infact had problems splitting the fairings.Was expecting those hex bolts screws at the bottom split sections,instead found pop up plastic pins.

                      oppracing.com they ship to INDIA.They are a bit pricey@$200 with taxes.Planning to take it to the track,so it seemed like a necessity.

                        Sunny,
                        First of all heartiest congratulations for the addition of another range to your collection (I would love to see your garage now!! )

                        Time for observation-
                        1) Sunny now has a Ninja 250R, and has posed with the same serenity as he poses for the R1s and the Busas - faints

                        2) Sunny gone clean shave - I'm not getting up now!!

                        3) As soon as he gets the bike he goes for a special paint job - now it's too much for me to handle, I'm still all faints

                        I mean with your each move you raise the bar so high that it surpasses my imagination my light years!!

                        I've one query to you Sunny - from where do you get the scale models? I know the P220 scale models are available at PBK. But the others... I've tried RedBell.com, but they have very limited collection.
                        Twist your wrist and feel the shift!!

                        My own thoughts - Throttle

                        • Thanks Sajal, I just have two permanent bikes at the moment (ZMA and the Ninja). The R1 is almost set to go. It is ore about the rider and not the bikes though. .

                          Also regaring scale model, its OT here, but just to answer your question redBell doesnt seem to be any good, try the stores in Select City walk, saket, in front of PVR cinemas or chech Amazon.

                              Wow man! Another one out of the box! It just does not stop does it! CONGRATS!

                              But does this thing satiate your thirst? I mean afa low-end Torque is concerned, I guess your 4year old Zma has more of it right?
                              The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

                              • @ken: my zma is 2.5 years old and as far as the N250's torque is concerned it is an issue at lower RPMs, but the R chasis and dna along with those extra 14 horses lurking beneath makes it a delight. Ultimately I will be just adjusting to its powerband to take it in the hills. I rode Manan's 250 and found it to be a great fun in most cases considering the cost and the CCs beneath.
